Centretown

"Location is fantastic - tucked a few doors away from the bars and restos on Elgin. Just a short stroll to all of the sites and the canal. The Inn is an old home there can be a lot of noise transfer from other rooms but better than the street noise at some of the hotels closer to Spark St......the 3rd floor is a bit of a climb up the stairs if that is an issue for you. Rooms were cozy and comfy. Breakfast was a great bonus for a few bucks. Super friendly staff."

Top Centretown Hotel Reviews

Cartier Place Suite Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Unexpected. It was a fully furnished 1 bedroom apartment with a kitchen. Equipped with a kettle, dishwasher! and a full sized oven and microwave and a full sized fridge. We didn't expect that or we would have stayed more days and enjoyed the pool and amenities"
